Historical background
It is a love poem by Solomon whose title means 'the Song of Songs.' It is arranged as a dialogue between bridegroom and bride, and Jewish tradition reads it as the relationship between God and Israel, while Christian tradition reads it as the relationship between Christ and the church.
What to watch for
Feel the deep devotion and love the bridegroom and bride have for each other in their dialogue.
Read this love story as the love with which Christ loves the church.
Meditate on the meaning of the confession, 'love is as strong as death' (8:6).
Where this book falls in the reading plan
In the app
Reading is where it starts, not where it stops.
Today's passage and devotional are yours to read here on the web. The app takes it from there — a place to write what stayed with you, receive a reflection on top of it, and watch the days add up.
A reflection arrives on what you wrote
Write what stayed with you, and a paragraph comes back — read against the passage you just finished. It does not lecture, and it does not grade you.
Your devotions gather into a record
What you write and what comes back stay on the calendar. Your streak is counted for you, and any past devotion opens again whenever you want it.
Today's verse on your lock screen
The widget puts the day's passage up each morning, so you read it once more in passing without opening anything.
160 topical series and a reading plan
Start wherever you are — 'weakness', 'waiting'. The one-year Bible reading plan, a Proverb a day, and the anonymous prayer box are all in there too.
